The Details

So I’ve been back from Australia for four days now. Four days, and I must say, while it blows my mind how much is happened since we last talked, it also just seems like five seconds have passed. And while it was great to have such a full schedule of awesomeness, it’s also really nice […]

Today is Dia de los Muertos…Day of the Dead. A day that we remember those whom we loved and who came and went before us. We honor them with photos and flowers and sugar…three of my favorite things. But as I was growing up, I was never really a fan of this holiday or practice. […]

I now must confess to you that this lovely little website has been stressing me out lately in many real and mind-concocted ways. And sure you’d never know it, because by all accounts I haven’t been here. Oh but that’s where you’re wrong, Dear Reader. I have recently been doing and redoing this website every […]

If the devil is, indeed, in the details… then indeed, my very favorite part of most things is filled with ooey gooey devil filling. It’s true, sadly true. If you know me at all, then you know my motto: Why make it simple when you can make it completely complicated? And on that note, here […]

Image source I flew to New York yesterday, on 9/11. I do not like to fly on 9/11. I especially do not like to fly to New York on 9/11. And while some would say it’s the safest day of the year to air travel, I don’t know, I felt a bit too cavalier about […]

Now that we are officially back to school, I think I can safely sum up the summer…even though, right now as I type this, it is literally 102 outside and the AC broke yesterday, and seriously, y’all, it’s still summer. But, according to the rest of everyone, it’s Fall! The stores are filled with sweaters! […]

Erin Loechner has done it again. She’s gotten together with a number of other talented women and they’ve started a new space for collection in the form of a website. Clementine Daily. Check it out. It’s got everything. Daily Gift Things. (Like this Delightful Thing.) I want this thing. And Daily Beauty Things. And Home […]

Let me start by saying, I’ve always been a reader. A big reader. A big nerdy reader who reads. A lot. In fact, I once broke up with a superman perfect guy about five seconds after he said out loud “Fiction is dumb, I only read non-fiction.” Yeah. Next. Of course, I could not play […]

Holy whoa, it’s September. You notice how no one really says that about any other month? But September marks the opportunity for a new start well over half way through. It’s brimming with the back-to-school, fresh-supplies, new-clothes types of possibilities. I love those possibilities. It also means alarm clocks, wake up calls and back to […]

I’m hoping to throw myself as hard as I can into this last weekend of Summer. And while I’m at it, I’m hoping that you do too. I don’t have any big plans, except for the plan to find a large body of water and jump into it. Because it will be 105 here tomorrow, […]
